Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV Page #2

Lucis cannot rely

on the kingsglaive alone.

Accepting the truce may be

our best course of action.

You speak of matters

beyond the new wall.

We have no need of a truce here,

so long as it stands.

And if our position worsens,

we still have the old wall.

Yes, but this truce will end

the fighting altogether.

If only we could compromise...

Compromise is unwise.

We know nothing

of Niflheim's true intentions.

Do not fool yourselves.

The walls are far from impenetrable.

The paths left to us are few.

The new wall draws its power

from the throne.

I am able to sustain it

for some years yet,

if the kingdom requires it.

But the chancellor spoke

one truth, if only one.

We are old, and the old wall...

I cannot command the old wall

with a weakened hand,

nor do I have the strength

to muster an offensive

to turn the tide on this war.

Then let the choice be made,

your majesty.

What are we to protect?

Help, mother!

How come you never

lose your lunch like that?

Just doesn't add up.

Here's this ancient art,

secret of the royal family

and all that.

Libertus!

Nyx!

Come here, guys,

you gotta see this.

Things were hectic

in the capital today

as the Lucian government

announced full acceptance

of what some are criticizing

as the unilateral peace terms

proposed by chancellor Izunia of Niflheim.

The signing of the truce will see

governing power over all Lucian territories

transferred to the empire,

with the sole exception of Insomnia.

In return, Niflheim

guarantees the continued safety

of Insomnia and its citizenry,

as well as a cessation

to all hostilities

bringing a decisive end

to this long and bitter war.

All that fighting we did.

All for nothing.

Glaives.

Assemble in the briefing room.

Now.

The king has spoken,

and you have heard.

All lands beyond the wall

are to be relinquished

to the empire.

Will

no regions be spared?

None.

But your home's out there too!

It is.

Why would the king do this?

Because it'll end this damn war.

- Crowe.

- Sir!

Prepare to deploy.

You're being sent to infiltrate Tenebrae.

Tenebrae, sir?

Mission details are classified.

Report to my office for briefing

in 30 minutes.

And, Nyx...

You're off the west gate.

You've been reassigned

to the castle guard.

That is all.

So this is what you were

talking about, Luche?

You heard

the captain.

This wasn't

our decision to make.

Not ours to make?

Those are our homes

out there! Our people!

And you're just gonna go along

with this and abandon them?

If we don't go along with them

the empire will unleash

all hell on Insomnia.

We'll unleash it

right back at them!

Easy, easy.

He's not the enemy.

Don't you get it?

We're nothing to them.

Rats, snuck in

from beyond the wall.

Sure, they had a use for us

when they realized

we could work their magic.

So they handpicked us out from

all the other rats out there

and just let us nibble away

at his royal majesty's precious power.

But as soon as

this war's all over,

it's back to the sewers

for all of us.

That means you too, hero.

You missing home so much,

Libertus,

why don't you

and Nyx head on back?

I'm sure Niflheim will

welcome you with open arms.

You've got a home out there too.

Or did you forget?

Unh!

Damn it!

I'm not gonna

let it end like this.

It is said sentiment amongst the

people is favorable, your majesty.

Most all will

welcome this peace.

If you yourself have not

heard their voices,

how can you claim

to know their hearts?

What of the mission to Tenebrae,

your majesty?

Is such clandestine action wise?

If discovered, it will only

serve to provoke the empire.

The empire remains our enemy

until the treaty is signed.

So long as

we are at war,

his majesty intends to remain

one step ahead of them.

Of course.

A hairpin? I didn't think you

were into that kind of thing.

It's not for me.

It's a gift for the Princess.

But keep that quiet.

Nobody's supposed to know.

Well, that's me.

Watch your back

out there.

I know you're sick of hearing

it, but you're like a little--

Little sister to you.

Yeah, I am sick of hearing it.

Just make sure you come back

in one piece, all right?

Says the guy in two pieces.

Lady Lunafreya, I have

left the rear gate open.

Thank you.

Must you go?

Yes.

Then go quickly.

I do not recall

granting you permission

to leave your quarters,

Lunafreya.

Ravus.

You are not to leave this room

again until the journey to Lucis.

It is for your own good.

My own good?

What is truly going on here?

What cause does the empire have

to see me wed to Noctis?

They have offered a peace,

and your marriage

is the olive branch.

You expect me to believe that?

What you believe

does not concern me.

What does concern me

is you sneaking off

to go and tell our mother's killer

about some plot you've dreamt up.

You are wrong

to hate King Regis.

Niflheim killed mother,

not him.

They murdered her

and made you their lapdog.

It's done.

An air of jubilation

has swept the city

in anticipation

of the coming armistice.

With only three days remaining

until the peace

is officially signed into effect,

throngs of citizens have taken

to the streets to show...

Lucis needs your strength,

young warriors.

We don't need

any of you immigrants.

Whatever strength you have

is on loan from the king.

You are nothing without him.

Woman:
Nyx, help mother.

Selena, get down.

--And the waves of imperial

diplomats entering the city.

The Princess?

Are you certain?

Yes, your majesty.

She was amongst the last

of the imperial contingent

to enter the city.

Get in.

I'm reporting to my post now

though, sir.

New orders.

Come on.

We've got a Princess to pick up.

Nice ride, sir.

It belongs to the prince.

We've taken him

outside the city.

Doesn't he have

a wedding to plan, sir?

Cut the "sir" crap.

The king has

a plan of his own.

Prince Noctis and Princess Lunafreya

are to meet far from Insomnia.

What's she doing here then?

Complicating things.

We sent Crowe

to find the Princess

and escort her out of Tenebrae.

We're still trying to

figure out what went wrong.

So I know what

you think about this war,

but what do you think

about this peace?

You happy giving up

your home?

It's the king's decision.

I owe him for taking me in.

I was lucky. There are people

in Galahd who weren't.

And they need me.

So you're going back?

What good will you be

without the king's magic?

Yeah, always wanting

to save somebody.

I get it. Believe me.

But it doesn't win wars.

It's not just wanting.

It's not just me.

Libertus is the one

you need to worry about.

He'll go back

if things get worse.

The worst

is yet to come.

Do you have any idea

who you're stopping?

Open this gate now, and maybe

you'll have a job tomorrow.

- King's orders.

- Are you sure you want to risk

a diplomatic issue now,

of all times?

I am the personal escort

of lady Lunafreya Nox Fleuret,

Princess of the former Tenebrae and--
